Call To Arms- Cancer Council ACT
Call To Arms is a community sports campaign that aims to raise funds and awareness for men’s cancers. The campaign involves different codes, players and clubs of all levels, allocating one match in their fixture during the month of July, to wear a yellow arm band (the yellow arm bands are a show of honour and respect for men with cancer), make a donation and fundraise to help save the lives of men throughout Australia.
By Clubs registering to wear yellow armbands, the funds they raise will help fight cancer in men. 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer by the time they turn 85. More than 62,500 Australian men are expected to be diagnosed with cancer this year. While cancer is one of the leading causes of death among Australian men, around one third of all cancers can be prevented through healthy lifestyle choices.
Please join other clubs supporting Call To Arms by registering your club today at www.calltoarms.com.au. Alternatively, you can call 1300 65 65 85 and we can register you by phone.

Out There 2 Thurs to Sun 10am-4pm
Out There 2 is the 2010 Canberra Photographic Society Annual Exhibition. The society is one of Canberra’s longest established community organisations. It has been presenting annual group exhibitions for a great many years. In 2009 the Society presented an exhibition “Out There” at Watson Arts Centre, for the first time at that venue, with very positive public response.
In 2010, their sequel exhibition, Out There 2, explores the same broad aims as in 2009, to show and share:
Photographic images out there in the public eye;
Photographers out there finding, capturing, processing and presenting photographic images;
Some photographers extending their imagery further 'out there' for expressive or aesthetic reasons or to explore new ideas.
Although the aims and title are very similar to last year’s exhibition, the images and responses are new.
The exhibition includes a wide range of photographic images in the traditional sense: observing and recording the world around us and capturing specific moments.
The title further reflects the way that photographers and photographic artists actively go beyond their local surroundings, and often beyond their comfort zones, in the search for images that reflect their personal interests and ideas.
Finally, the exhibition includes some images that might be seen as ‘out there’ because of the extent to which the photographs have been manipulated, processed, combined or presented, imaginatively transformed to extend the image for personal expression or to build new ideas.
This exhibition comprises a wide range of high quality and stimulating images, well worth a visit!
1st to 11th July at Watson Arts Centre, Aspinall Street, Watson. Open Thursday to Sunday 10am-4pm

Ainslie Football Club - Call to Arms 2.00pm
Ainslie Football Club
& the Call to Arms Campaign
The Ainslie Football Club through its players will be supporting the Call to Arms Cancer awareness program and fundraiser.
In their match against Tuggeranong on Saturday 3 July at Greenway Oval, the Ainslie Senior and Reserve Grade teams will wear Yellow socks and armbands as a symbol of their support for the Call to Arms cause and in trying to spread the message about the related facts.
Players from both Grades will be donating a percentage of their match payments along with funds from other fundraising efforts.
Ainslie players took upon themselves to raise some much needed funds after reading facts such as;
1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer by the time they turn 85.
More than 62,500 Australian men are expected to be diagnosed with cancer this year.
While cancer is one of the leading causes of death among Australian men, around one third of all cancers can be prevented through healthy lifestyle choices.
Excluding non-melanoma skin cancers, the most common cancers facing men in Australia are prostate, bowel, melanoma and lung cancer. Prostate cancer is more common in men than breast cancer is in women.
Funds raised will help prevent and detect cancers in men, find new treatments, as well as support men in need by funding the Cancer Council's important cancer research, prevention and support programs.
Ainslie Football Club President, Mr. Ian Muir, said; “We as a Club here at Ainslie are very proud that our Players have taken it upon themselves to get involved and have chosen such a worthy cause as the Call to Arms campaign to get behind and make an effort to help. It is a terrific and much worthwhile campaign and we support the Players in their efforts and endeavors.

Jeff Mincham: Ceramics 10am-4pm
Jeff Mincham is one of Australia’s most prominent and influential ceramic artists with a career spanning more than thirty years. His exceptional craft skills and extraordinary body of work are being honoured through an Object Gallery touring exhibition as part of the Living Treasures: Masters of Australian Craft series.
Mincham is an artist in his creative prime and his most recent work showcases the unique results of his passionate research and experimentation with surface textures and firing techniques. With a reputation for monumental vessels, Mincham draws on his connection with and passion for the South Australian countryside where he lives and works. The surfaces of his large elliptical forms reflect his direct experience with the patterns and colours of the landscape: the Coorong, Fleurieu Peninsula and Adelaide Hills.
Mincham’s masterpieces feature in many of the great ceramic collections of this country, including The Art Gallery of South Australia, The National Gallery of Australia, The National Gallery of Victoria and the Powerhouse Museum, as well as many private collections. Mincham is also represented in many collections internationally.
Jeff Mincham: Ceramics opened at Object Gallery in November 2009 and is currently touring across the country, assisted by Visions of Australia. Canberra Potters Society is delighted to bring this exhibition to Canberra audiences.
The exhibition will be opened by Greg Daly of the ANU School of Art Ceramics Workshop at 6pm on Friday 16th July. At 10.30am on Saturday 17th July, Greg will conduct an interview with Jeff Mincham in the gallery - sure to give a fascinating insight into the man and his work.
